Essential The Official Football (Soccer) Thread - Life and Death for South America, Pre-Season for Europe: The Club World Cup

I hear what your saying and I have seen a lot of pundits say the same thing but I just dont think Pogbas LATEST comments were that bad or disrespectful

Imagine you are the manager and your player ran to tell them press the team should play attacking football. It undermines Mourinho.

Idk Pogba should just lay low, he's a world cup winner his brand isn't too damaged, just figure out if Mourinho is going or not, and if not then just leave end of season. Worst thing to be labelled is a manager killer.

Liverpool & Chelsea line ups look balanced. Anyone can win this, no one got an advantage over the other

 

[Yayo Toure]

Who gonna win Liverpool vs Chelsea?

Looking at the lineups I can't call it.

I feel after Jose's comment on Pogba after the worldcup that it was out of line so that may be why i feel that way. I feel Jose puts himself in these positions sometimes.

Where did I say elite talent? I said they have talent, breh is making out Pogba is playing with a bunch of relegation fodder and that are holding him back. You cannot tell me that Mata, Lukaku, Sanchez (proven PL players) Rashford, Martial don't have talent or that Matic isn't one of the best players in his position or that effort players like Fellaini and Lingard dont maximize the most of their ability. That is hating, regardless if some of those players aren't performing up to standard, shyt that happened, just ask Chelsea fans who have seen not 1, not 2, but 3 drop offs following season after a title win in the last decade, but let me guess youre United you expect better.

Midfield and attack is fine, it's just not being used properly, in the so called United way. And to keep it 100, majority of FB's are shyt in this era, because majority of them barely know how to defend these days, but hey that's the modern football. Shaw and Dalot will be fine.

I think you've just agreed with my last post?

Actually United have a lot of talent. Matic, Fred and Herrera are all great players. disagree, not saying they're bad players but they're not GREAT players. absolutely not.

Shaw was one of the best young fullbacks before leg fracture and then Mourinho proceeded to shyt on him for 2 straight years. Shaw was having weight issues before Jose. even Southgate and LvG complained about his weight and attitude/professionalism . Dalot another great young fullback. He looked good in one game and ok in another. let's wait and see. let's slow down on how great is thrown around.

Bailly is extremely talented but has shown no improvement under Mourinho, actually he regeressd. I like Bailly but like you say, no improvemnet under Jose, which backs up my point. Smalling is very solid and it's a joke to try to replace him with a 70 million pound Harry Maguire. Not saying Maguire is better, Dont care. Smalling is a decent defender. that's it. I dont believe he should be the best defender for a team that wants to win the premier league and/or CL.

Martial - Possible elite talent but still requires development, Rashford - requires lots of development. Not ready for title challenging teams, Lukaku - good player, Elite? no. Sanchez - washed, Mata - slow and washed, Lingard average at best. not enough talent in attack? compare them to the attack at City and Liverpool. Chelsea have the Hazard factor. Even Arsenal's attack is better, if not because they're abunch of pussies.

My opinion in bold. Jose is doing a shytty job in his 3rd year at man utd. He hasnt improved anyone. Team isnt well drilled or disciplined and lacks identity. Quality players can mask most of this but these guys cant.

Leganes!

We really don't have the pace without alba and semedo

This is true. Idk you got a baller in his 20s and a coach in his 50s, somebody gotta be the bigger person here and squash it, or somebody gotta go.
